Eating local. It's a concept that sadly, with the passing of time, has gone out of style. My family is rediscovering exactly what is means to eat fresh, organic, and delicious foods that are grown only a few miles away. Not only is it healthier for you, but buying local boosts the community's economy. Participating in a farm share such as CSA provides you with most of your fruits, veggies, bread, and eggs for the week. Also, buying organics at the grocery store is more expensive than investing in a farm share because the food often has to be shipped from outside one-hundred and fifity miles of our home. So, explore farms that are close to home, and spend just a little extra cash on healthier food that will benefit you in the long run. :-)
Hannah, that fresh food was delicious! Birke Baehr, and 11 year-old homeschooler and excellent public speaker, does an amazing video on YouTube about why it's cheaper in the long run and absolutely crucial to eat organically. If anyone's interested, it's a great 5 minute video.
